:00:00. > :00:00.And coming up: bestselling author, Victoria Hislop, talks
:00:00. > :00:16.to Jim Naughtie about her latest novel Cartes Postales from Greece.
:00:17. > :00:20.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing
:00:21. > :00:22.us tomorrow. With me are John Rentoul, political
:00:23. > :00:24.columnist for the Independent, and Ruth Lea, who's
:00:25. > :00:41.an Economic Adviser We agreed on half of the stories and
:00:42. > :00:45.rubbished the other 50%. You get what you pay for.
:00:46. > :00:47.The Sunday Telegraph has a photograph of Usain Bolt
:00:48. > :00:50.and Justin Gatlin after their controversial 100m final tonight,
:00:51. > :00:56.The paper reports the UK is prepared to pay up to ?36 billion to settle
:00:57. > :01:00.It says it's the first time a precise figure has been proposed.
:01:01. > :01:03.The Independent on Sunday also focuses on Brexit and a warning
:01:04. > :01:05.from scientists about the government's intention to leave
:01:06. > :01:09.The Observer concentrates on advice from the Children's Commissioner,
:01:10. > :01:11.who's concerned that many kids are bingeing on social media
:01:12. > :01:16.The Mail on Sunday says it has found that around 40% of police stations
:01:17. > :01:18.have been closed down in seven years.
:01:19. > :01:20.The Sunday Times reports that British students
:01:21. > :01:22.are being discriminated against by universities,
:01:23. > :01:24.in favour of more lucrative foreign students.
:01:25. > :01:26.The Sunday Mirror has a story we've been reporting on today,
:01:27. > :01:30.the ordeal of a British model who was kidnapped in Milan.
:01:31. > :01:32.And the Sunday Express chooses to feature Prince Harry
:01:33. > :01:34.and his girlfriend, the actress Meghan Markle,
:01:35. > :01:45.as they arrive in Botswana for a break.
:01:46. > :01:55.But is it just a holiday? We don't no. The Telegraph. Brexit. Written
:01:56. > :02:02.to put ?36 billion on the table in a divorce offer. -- Britain. But
:02:03. > :02:05.according to a government source, they are dismissing these reports
:02:06. > :02:11.that they are prepared to pay this bill. Do you believe it? There is no
:02:12. > :02:16.smoke without a fire. They quit the sources that confirm it. We assume
:02:17. > :02:22.there is some truth in it. But we don't know yet. Some parts of
:02:23. > :02:27.government tend to disagree with other parts, I have noticed that as
:02:28. > :02:34.the EU negotiations have gone on. That ours make the reasonable
:02:35. > :02:38.assumption it is true. -- let us. They are trying to push the debate
:02:39. > :02:44.on. What they want to discuss with Michel Barnier, the chief negotiator
:02:45. > :02:51.for the EU, is the relationship for the EU and the UK. Barnier has set
:02:52. > :02:59.until the risen a financial settlement we are not able to do
:03:00. > :03:04.that. -- there is a. So that is why they are doing this. If this is
:03:05. > :03:10.true, that is what they are trying to do. Much higher figures have been
:03:11. > :03:17.talked about. Yes. There has been the 100 billion figure which Boris
:03:18. > :03:23.Johnson said they can go and whistle for. It is not as big as it looks.
:03:24. > :03:27.Essentially it is saying we should pay what we are paying at the moment
:03:28. > :03:36.for the three years of a transition period, that is 10 billion a year.
:03:37. > :03:43.And then a bit extra. I am amazed that Ruth seems to think that is
:03:44. > :03:51.reasonable. You would expect some of the Leavers to say we will not pay a
:03:52. > :03:58.penny. Many will. The truth is, I was a civil servant, you no... That
:03:59. > :04:08.is where I got my superb manners from. -- know. If I may say so. But
:04:09. > :04:12.this is a negotiation. I do believe we want a good relationship with the
:04:13. > :04:15.European Union when we leave. And if that means you have to put some
:04:16. > :04:22.money on the table, you put some money on the table. They are denying
:04:23. > :04:26.it at the moment. But if this is an opening gambit and it is a
:04:27. > :04:31.negotiation, it is going to go up, isn't it? That is true. You don't
:04:32. > :04:37.start with a figure assuming it is going to go down. But the question
:04:38. > :04:42.is how high you think it is at the moment. If this is really just 10
:04:43. > :04:47.billion more than just carrying on our existing payments for three
:04:48. > :04:53.years, then it is not very much, it seems to me. It seems affordable,
:04:54. > :04:58.quite reasonable. I suspect the EU will not accept such a low figure.
:04:59. > :05:06.They will end up paying more. They are talking about 50- 60 billion. So
:05:07. > :05:15.probably 45. Put that down. 45 billion. Said that to them. -- send.
:05:16. > :05:22.The pound is all over the place, isn't it? The Independent. If you
:05:23. > :05:28.were with us at 1030, John was pointing out Vladimir Putin was on
:05:29. > :05:32.the front page. He promised us by 1130 Vladimir Putin would be
:05:33. > :05:39.replaced by Usain Bolt. We have not quite got there yet. I am sure it is
:05:40. > :05:46.on its way. OK. We will look out for it. I am sure Usain Bolt is racing
:05:47. > :05:52.to the front page. Yeah. Third-place. We still have Vladimir
:05:53. > :05:58.Putin. Very odd. Spearfishing in Siberia, at least with a shot on.
:05:59. > :06:04.Ditching EU nuclear agency will slam brakes on green car revolution, that
:06:05. > :06:13.is the headline. A top nuclear physicist, Martin Friers, he says
:06:14. > :06:20.leaving the EU's nuclear side, it is going to play havoc with that
:06:21. > :06:26.industry. He makes the point it is very important we do have a growing
:06:27. > :06:30.nuclear power sector because we have electric cars coming down the track
:06:31. > :06:36.and we don't want to power them with fossil fuels. Yeah. Exactly. It says
:06:37. > :06:42.we can import vital materials to nuclear plants. You will need a lot
:06:43. > :06:48.of them to get rid of diesel cars and petrol cars by 2040. You will
:06:49. > :06:57.need another five or six. I think this is utter rubbish. Why is that?
:06:58. > :07:05.It is a scare story. A Project Fear neo scare story. Neo scare story! I
:07:06. > :07:10.don't think he has any evidence for this. Would it not make sense if you
:07:11. > :07:15.are leaving it, if you are leaving the EU, why not stay part of the
:07:16. > :07:23.agency and make use of all of the expertise? My understanding is it is
:07:24. > :07:26.part of the package. If you leave the EU, you leave the institution.
:07:27. > :07:32.Over you don't have to. There is no need to reconstruct all of those...
:07:33. > :07:36.I say everything in the EU is political. If we can reach a
:07:37. > :07:43.political agreement, we can stay in the institution when we leave. They
:07:44. > :07:48.would be quite happy with that. There you go. I don't think that is
:07:49. > :07:54.what the May or Michael Gove, the Environment Secretary, I don't think
:07:55. > :08:01.that is what they want. -- Theresa May. A scare story. A neo scare
:08:02. > :08:12.story. Never heard of it. The Sunday Times. A drive for higher education
:08:13. > :08:16.fees betray sixth form. It is all about money. They are maximising
:08:17. > :08:20.their income by taking people who pay more rather than people who
:08:21. > :08:26.don't. That is very simple. It is very simple. Except that we don't
:08:27. > :08:33.have a cap on student numbers any more in England. And so there is no
:08:34. > :08:35.reason why you should not be able to take foreign students and EU
:08:36. > :08:45.students, including British students. Umm, so, you know, I am
:08:46. > :08:49.not sure, I have not had a chance to look properly at the end of this
:08:50. > :08:52.story, I am not sure that British students are losing out because of
:08:53. > :08:57.more lucrative fortune is being given preference. ?9,000 a year for
:08:58. > :09:02.tuition fees if you are going to an English university. Umm... How much
:09:03. > :09:09.do they charge for an students? I dread to think. There are high
:09:10. > :09:13.numbers in this article. Is it where it says the foundation course is
:09:14. > :09:20.between 15 and 22,000? The implication is that I am afraid that
:09:21. > :09:24.British students are losing out. I take your point there is not a cap
:09:25. > :09:30.on student. But they will have capacity constraints. Take it at
:09:31. > :09:36.face value. Some substitution is taking place. Some are losing out.
:09:37. > :09:41.That is the implication. And a debate about how much longer they
:09:42. > :09:45.will be able to charge this ?9,000. There is a move for it to be cut.
:09:46. > :09:50.For foreign students to be more attractive. Jeremy Corbyn did so
:09:51. > :09:56.well in the General Election with his promise to abolish tuition fees.
:09:57. > :10:00.That does me there is going to be quite a lot of pressure to reduce or
:10:01. > :10:04.get rid of tuition fees altogether. It is difficult. For the next
:10:05. > :10:15.election whenever that is. The Observer. Stop students to make
:10:16. > :10:19.children bingeing on social media. -- stop children bingeing. We don't
:10:20. > :10:23.want the meeting junk food so we should do the same with going on
:10:24. > :10:32.line. There is no solution, it seems. Turn off the Wi-Fi? Deny all
:10:33. > :10:38.the data? How do you do it? I am not a parent. So I don't know. What
:10:39. > :10:41.should I do? Well... What do you do? Not to make silly analogy is with
:10:42. > :10:48.junk food. That is my first suggestion. -- analogies. What is
:10:49. > :10:54.junk food is in the eye of the beholder, the consumer. Like a
:10:55. > :11:04.McDonald's... Don't advertise on here. He should eat good and healthy
:11:05. > :11:10.food. Not with every meal... Oh dear. This is about children going
:11:11. > :11:15.on social media too much. I am on quite a lot. That is because I enjoy
:11:16. > :11:29.it so bytes do you put it down and read a book from time to time? Not
:11:30. > :11:38.really. Don't you? A book? You can read that on your phone. I like a
:11:39. > :11:45.proper book with proper pages. I am really old-fashioned, aren't I? My
:11:46. > :11:52.poor children. No wonder they spend all their time on social media.
:11:53. > :11:58.Well, thank you, Ruth. You can really fall out with some people,
:11:59. > :12:08.can't you? The Observer. Dragracing. Gay Pride has been taking place.
:12:09. > :12:13.Northern Ireland is going to have to catch up fairly soon, apparently.
:12:14. > :12:17.That is right. Someone else was saying that on the BBC just now,
:12:18. > :12:24.pointing out that attitudes in Northern Ireland are changing
:12:25. > :12:28.towards gay rights, having abortions, all those things were
:12:29. > :12:34.Northern Ireland is different from the UK. They are saying the same
:12:35. > :12:41.thing at Gay Pride, Northern Ireland needs to catch up with the rest of
:12:42. > :12:46.the UK. And with Ireland, actually. Extraordinary. Yes, they used to be
:12:47. > :12:50.a very Catholic country, a very different culture from Britain. It
:12:51. > :12:59.is incredible that different parts of the UK have such different civil
:13:00. > :13:04.liberties. My understanding is the DUP has been blocking a marriage in
:13:05. > :13:10.Northern Ireland. Now they are more in the fold they may change their
:13:11. > :13:22.mind. I like these pictures. These two ladies are gorgeous. Aren't
:13:23. > :13:29.they! One of them has a corset on. One of them is Princess Leia. She is
:13:30. > :13:37.too much. I like their eyelashes. Usain Bolt. The Telegraph. What an
:13:38. > :13:41.evening it has been. This is where you will prevent me from advertising
:13:42. > :13:46.the Independent. There is no need to do that because you failed to
:13:47. > :13:52.provide a photograph. We will stick with the Telegraph which has the
:13:53. > :14:02.picture. I don't like to be snippy with you, but... Justin Gatlin being
:14:03. > :14:08.hugged by Usain Bolt. You say only came third! Third is amazing. The
:14:09. > :14:14.Sunday Times have a picture of Usain Bolt. The Independent will have it
:14:15. > :14:24.on a website now if you go and look, I am sure. Daniel Condan on Twitter
:14:25. > :14:29.asked how did a two times drug cheat, Justin Gatlin, get the chance
:14:30. > :14:37.to compete? Those are the rules, aren't they? He served his time. He
:14:38. > :14:47.has been booed every time. People are not happy to see him there.
:14:48. > :14:55.Those are the rules. Having used drugs against the laws in the past,
:14:56. > :15:05.has it given him a permanent advantage? I know the authorities
:15:06. > :15:10.are doing what they are meant to. If he is allowed to compete then he
:15:11. > :15:14.should be allowed to, it is rude to boo and he should be allowed to
:15:15. > :15:22.compete. I think the implication is it isn't permanent, these
:15:23. > :15:29.performance enhancing drugs I'm sure wear off. Let's reflect on Usain
:15:30. > :15:35.Bolt, what a superhuman he has been. He is very tall, six foot five. And
:15:36. > :15:38.very wide at the shoulder. Complaining about the blocks but
:15:39. > :15:43.when you are that tall, it is quite difficult to get cracking. I think
:15:44. > :15:48.it was Greg Jennett, the historian, said on Twitter tonight, if it was
:15:49. > :15:56.the 107 metres then he would have beaten everyone. -- Greg Jenner. It
:15:57. > :16:02.takes him a few strides to get cracking. It is wise to retire now
:16:03. > :16:07.because he is probably past his best. At least he got a medal. He
:16:08. > :16:12.has been a terrific athlete. What a treat it has been to watch him. Yes.
:16:13. > :16:21.That's it for tonight. Thank you to John and Ruth. Look how you look on
:16:22. > :16:25.the TV! We are too busy looking at you! That's lovely! Coming up next
:16:26. > :16:27.is
